Viewed a few cars yesterday including the one above and have decided to go for it

It's really been cared for and aside from the bodywork is spot on in every other way (although i think i want to replace the blue cam cover with a stock red one)

Pick it up next saturday, just need the RX7 to be picked up then i'll be off to pick the S2000 up. Cant wait

There aren’t many 10 year old cars that won't have some bits of rust or bodywork dings.
So long as it's structurally solid and the engines good then you should be OK.

Mines 10 years old and the bodywork would make some people here cry, but from my point of view it means I don’t care if I pick up a few extra stonechips.

Badge wise its quite weird its got like the 'S' in red on a grey background? would probably replace with proper honda badges though

Sound like it has aftermarket "Rick's" badges fitted. Do they look like these?

Yowch thats an expensive pair of badges... pretty sure thats them assuming they're the normal shape not round?

Yes, looks like the picture of the Rick's badges in this installation guide:

Also looks like a bit of an effort to refit the Hs. Now you know how expensive those badges were you might decide to keep them!

Definately them and seems more effort than it's worth replacing them so i'll stick with them i think

First port of call is getting some accord or CRV centre caps for the RPF1's and get the bodywork niggles checked out

Heh he mentioned he'd had someone in touch about the wheels

Really friendly bloke and totally honest about the car which was nice, looked at a couple of supposedly 'mint' cars which were complete sheds and wasted my time and fuel.

Cant wait for the weekend now, think i'll do the 130 odd miles home with roof down just because i can
